I have included directions in the pattern for completing a shorter cowl, as might be worn by a ranger for warmth whilst in the wilds of Middle Earth, or a taller hood, which can be pulled up to disguise your identity while loitering about in the Prancing Pony. Either way, Strider is a quick little knit, done up in worsted weight yarn.

Here are a couple of modeled shots, taken by me holding the camera at arm's length, so no comments on the photography please. I made mine in the shorter length.

The pattern is a fun little cable/lace combination that adds great depth & texture to the piece. I recommend at least a semisolid yarn to properly show off the pattern.
